Media Hypes UN Fear-mongering Before Rio+20 Sustainability Summit

According to the UN report, dubbed the fifth "Global Environmental Outlook" (GEO-5), the Earth is in danger - and as always, it's your fault. Humanity is the enemy. There are simply too many people consuming too many resources, and it will eventually bring about a cataclysm, the paper claims. However, if the global population promptly submits to the international body's myriad demands, the UN implausibly alleges, it might still be possible to save the world.

"Africa, Asia and the Pacific and Latin America and the Caribbean share the common problems of population growth and increasing consumption," noted the UN, bizarrely attacking human beings and decreasing levels of poverty as "problems" to be solved by the global bureaucracy. In the developed world, meanwhile, more poverty is needed as well: "Europe and North America continue to operate at unsustainable levels of consumption," the global entity claimed in its report.
